GoldenPiCS Kit
(Kit #
1000000133
)

GoldenPiCS is a plasmid toolkit which provides a flexible modular system for advanced strain engineering in P. pastoris (based on the multi-organism system GoldenMOCS). This kit allows users flexible generation of overexpression plasmids with up to eight transcription units. The kit contains 20 different promoters and 10 transcription terminators, four selection markers and four loci for targeted genome integration.

This kit will be sent as bacterial glycerol stocks in a 96-well plate format.

Description

GoldenPiCS is a Golden Gate-derived Pichia pastoris cloning system (based on the multi-organism system GoldenMOCS- see image below). The GoldenPiCS Kit was deposited by the Mattanovich/Gasser/Sauer Group from BOKU Vienna University and contains three hierarchical backbone (BB) levels for flexible generation of overexpression plasmids with up to eight transcription units. The kit contains 20 different promoters and 10 transcription terminators, four selection markers and four loci for targeted genome integration. Both promoters and terminators are in BB1 plasmids with different fusion sites. These single parts (promoter, CDS, terminator) are then assembled into a recipient BB2 plasmid to form a functional expression cassette. BB3 plasmids serve to assemble multiple expression cassettes (e.g. a whole pathway) into one vector (see image below).

This plasmid toolkit can be used for strain engineering of P. pastoris to accomplish pathway expression, protein production or other applications where the integration of various DNA products is required.
